General description

Genipin is a natural cross linking agent, which is extracted from gardenia fruit. It prevents lipid peroxidation and production of nitric oxide. Genipin protects the hippocampal neurons from the toxicity of Alzheimer′s amyloid β protein. It has anti-inflammatory and anti-angiogenesis effects. Genipin is involved in drug delivery system.

Application

Genipin has been used:
  • in chemosensitivity assay
  • in the preparation of recombinant human (rh)-odontogenic ameloblast-associated protein (ODAM) -impregnated collagen gel and in vitro mineralization assay
  • in genipin gel preparation

Biochem/physiol Actions

Genipin stimulates insulin secretion in UCP2-dependent manner (Uncoupling protein 2). Genipin is a protein, collagen, gelatin, and chitosan cross-linker.
